How can I get an ENFP to have a good first impression of me?

first thing i remember about someone is body language; that instant first impression based off body language sticks with me.

tbh, ENFPs aren't very judgemental- if you have a good heart you're already half way there. just try to act like you already do when communicating with her. the most disappointing thing is when you meet someone you've talked to online or whatever and the dynamic seems different in person. what i think you definitely definitely should do is talk about some of the things that you have chatted with her not-in-person. that will establish a sense that your rapport together in-person is the same as when not-in-person, if that makes sense.

That's what I'm worried about, the conversation being awkward.

The thing that annoys me the most is that she seems to go off on tangents quite a lot, and the conversation just ends up being really weird and it doesn't flow at all and I don't feel like putting any effort into it, so I tend to just say that I'm tired and then I can escape the conversation, but I obviously can't do that when we meet.

It's really hard to force body language, but I guess I can try. I tend to be fairly relaxed and just nonchalantly go with the flow most of the time, but I get called distant a lot, so I'm just worried that there wont be a flow to go along with, if you know what I mean?

If you feel like the subject matter starts getting tangental, try to guide it! Maybe she's going off on different subjects because she doesn't like silence. I know I tend to do that when conversation gets too quiet.
I think you're psyching yourself out a little bit! If you're interested in pursuing a friendship with her, or even something more, just be yourself! I personally tend to sense insincerity a mile away in person... Just be honest with her. =)

Be yourself.
It sounds simple and cliché, but that's really the key. Go along with her crazy ideas, for example a day trip to the zoo or buying balloons. Remember little things that she mentions in conversation.
Be open, but also remember she's quite sensitive.
One of my close friends is an ISTP, and I admire him for being himself and just generally being cool. However sometimes he can make remarks that are a bit cutting without realizing.

Oh, I know how sensitive she can be.
Apparently I've already made loads of 'cutting remarks'. I'm completely oblivious to them...

To be honest, I don't really know what I want from her... I would like to be friends at the very least, but I think it's my inferior Fe that sets me back from going further. Then again, she finds it really cute/funny.

Going along with 'crazy ideas' sounds okay I guess. I'm getting a feeling that it's going to drain me so much though.

Hey, Wellf! Alright, I'ma do what I can.

I never typed people before and didn't know anything about types before finding this site. It's always been simple to tell who's an extrovert and who isn't, but that doesn't influence me in any way, but you're doing things a little differently.

She likes your personality? You should be surprised at yourself man! A good chunk of work is out of the way. Don't think about making a good impression. We're not zoo animals... Y-You're gonna finish that banana, right?


Just be honest, speak with confidence, and pay attention to her. Listen and respond to what she says and use that smooth brain of yours to probe what she loves and likes. Don't think about how cold or distant you may come of, alright? Meet up with her and do something simple for your first time out. Make up jokes no matter how bad they are (it's the effort), and don't take things too seriously.

You'll be good if you focus on being as honest and attentive. A good bit of compassion thrown in there won't hurt either. There isn't any pressure. Oh, and guess what? Got a secret she doesn't even know yet. You're awesome, but, you don't have to tell her. Have fun man and I really hope I helped.

Thanks for that, helped quite a bit. I'm fairly good at paying attention (as from what i know ENFPs like to do their fair share of talking), I just hope I don't unintentionally say something that will hurt her..

Whilst I'm at it, is there anything that ISTPs - or any type for that matter - unknowingly do that really annoy you?

If she asks you what you think about x topic, give her details. Do NOT just say "yeah that's ok". Say what you like or don't and why, give her details and stuff to talk about. We're a curious bunch that like to learn new things. If you have an opinion on something, (that's not a judgement of her own opinion on something), then say it.
Ie - you're at the zoo and she starts going on about how giraffes kind of look like dragons, given the head shape etc. Roll with it, say how you can totally see that, then pick another animal and say you think it looks like some other fantasy creature, or ask her what this other animal looks like to her.
Roll with the crazy tangents and bring them back to topics you can give interesting data on. and encourage the random ideas.
Lol and yes, if all else fails, random ice cream or "hey let's go check that thing out!"
I don't know if this is true for all ENFP's, but I LOVE random fun surprises.

You lucky bastard!...If I knew a cute ENFP chick I'd totally fight through a crowded room just to talk to her.

Just tell her exactly how you feel and why. Every detail, even if she has to stare at you and listen for ten minutes straight (she will).

Then fall in love. Problem solved.

Grrr...so lucky!
